House Renovations in Wanstead
A better layout, new services throughout and a finish you notice every day. Planned, managed and built by one team.
Renovating in Wanstead
Many Wanstead villas were split into flats and later converted back, leaving uneven floors, blocked fireplaces and services that run in odd places.
What works here
We renovate Wanstead houses room by room or all at once: new services, restored period features and a layout that works for a family today.
Consents for renovation in Wanstead
Turning flats back into a single house can need planning permission, so we check the history first. Ordinary renovation, including new kitchens and bathrooms, is covered by building control. Applications go to the London Borough of Redbridge. We handle them for you.
How it works
Survey
We walk the house with you and record what should be kept, repaired or replaced.
Plan
A new layout, a clear specification and a schedule of works you can follow.
Permissions
Planning, listed building consent where needed, building control and party walls.
Enjoy
One team renovates it and hands it back finished.

Questions
Can you put back period features that have been removed?
Yes. We match cornices, ceiling roses, skirting and fireplaces to originals that survive elsewhere in the house or on the street.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
Sometimes, for smaller or phased work. For a full renovation most clients move out, which is safer and usually quicker. We will advise at the first visit.
Do I need planning permission to renovate a house in Wanstead?
Internal work on an unlisted house rarely needs it. Listed houses need listed building consent for almost any change, and in a conservation area new windows, roofs and front elevations often need permission.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
For a whole-house renovation it is usually better to move out. Work to a single floor, or work in phases, can be planned around you staying in.
